Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[Curzon Dax-sama]

Ok hear me out. Janeway clad in a leather dom outfit, leather eye patch and riding crop in hand.
Janeway more like Painway.
*Bad joke I know.

Swoleway or Warcrimeway?

Swoleway or Warcrimeway?

Why not both?

 

[ZMOT]

I have no issue with short hair, but it’s insane how committed Star Trek was to the Lloyd Christmas cut. TOS made it clear they had a full range of hairstyles.

Nu Trek overcorrects so hard, the Romulans look like LOTR rejects.

they knew exactly what they did, because they remedied that in the mirror episodes.

also no one ever mentions hoshi

Did you ever notice how often Troi could short-circuit an entire episode because she would have just been able to "sense" what's going on? For instance, in "Conspiracy" where a bunch of high ranking Star Fleet officers are compromised by a parasite... she never detects anything wrong.

In the episode where Data is kidnapped, again, Troi is conveniently not able to sense anything.

The episode where Picard is replaced with a doppelganger (which acts pretty differently from him, for example, drinking with the crew) she senses nothing.

I don't know if the writers forgot she exists or what.

you could argue she could just sense emotions, and then arguably only strong/unguarded ones. iirc betazoid are empaths, not mind readers.

the parasites could just operate in a different wavelength to detect anything "wrong".
can't remember the data episode, but for the picard one it wouldn't change much in sensing "picard's having fun", same way the rest of the crew got bamboozled.

there's also the philosophical aspect "if you can only sense someone is lying, but they are honest evil, is it really a lie?" etc.

but yeah, more often than not it was a simple plot device - or something else

Warcrimeway?

Picking a favorite moment is impossible, this whole episode is a banger. You've got Evil Chakotay auditioning for Guantanamo while insisting he's a man of "peace," or the Doctor showing up 700 years later to debunk the propaganda...except the part about Tom Paris being an asshat, which tracks.

"No one behaved like this! Well, aside from Mr. Paris."

>"Watch your mouth, hedgehog!"

You just know that story is repeated on dozens of worlds in the Delta quadrant, just without the Doctor clarifying things.

Yellow fever? Nope, not one reported case in many years.

 

[ZMOT]

How did we only get an Andorian crewmember by Strange New Worlds? Hell, we got a fucking Borg crewmember before Hemmer was introduced... and then he died towards the end of the first season.

because ENT was canceled before S5

Yellow fever? Nope, not one reported case in many years.

if yellow fever is just an expression of exotic taste, asians obviously get outplayed by all the wrinkly noses/foreheads.

Hoshi and Georgiou both being Asian is certainly a coincidence.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

I think that Linda Park was well-casted as a linguist dork. Hoshi wasn't unattractive, but she was not sexy as a character.

 

[Flexo]

iirc betazoid are empaths, not mind readers.

Actually betazoids are full telepaths.

Deanna was a mongrel half-blood. That's why she could only do empath work.

You need to take off those sunglasses as you are blind.

Koreans don't do it for me.

Well, that's the thing about the Mirror Universe, everyone had way more personality in it. Even Mayweather was more interesting.

To be fair, when this is the only other prominent female character in the crew...

It's easy to see Hoshi as unattractive by comparison.

Koreans don't do it for me.

I thought Hoshi was Japa--

Oh.

They cast a Korean actress as a Japanese character. That's... unfortunate.

I remember Linkara of all people accurately summarized that episode as "Revenge of the Other Main Characters".

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Hana Hatae, who was the main child actress who played Molly O'Brien, is (I think) actually Japanese. She's 36 now and quite beautiful, although I really can't say whether she's "hot" or not because I only ever think of little Molly. Simply put: there are more Chinese- and Korean-Americans than Japanese-Americans, and most people can't tell the difference, so you get Rosalind Chao (Chinese) playing Keiko and Linda Park (Korean) playing Hoshi. Not that it really matters because I think both Chao and Park were great in their roles.

They did the same thing with Keiko, except her actress was Chinese.

Unrelated to ST but one of my favorite for that backwards race casting was in Falling Down where they had a Chinese guy playing a Korean Store owner, and a Korean guy playing a Chinese cop.

. She's 36 now and quite beautiful, although I really can't say whether she's "hot" or not because I only ever think of little Molly.

Molly's alright.

[Clown College 2nd Year]

Patti Yasutake was Japanese American who played Nurse Ogawa who was also Japanese.

There's also Cynthia Gouw who's Chinese American that played Caithlin Dar in Star Trek V. But she was a Romulan/Human mix.

I can't really think of any other asian women that appeared in trek other than cameo or background roles.

not a "hotness" thing, but Time Travel Molly from that one DS9 went on to go across the Pacific and direct a couple of episodes of Doraemon

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

... What?

 

[XYZpdq Jr.]

Doreamon, long running kids show in Japan
gal who played time travel Feral Molly in that DS9 where Molly fell into a spacetime thingy
she went on to direct an episode or few of that show
odd trivia about Molly actresses and not related to hot
